Inventory of Heritage Building in Kampung Bandar Senapelan
Abstract: Heritage building is a building that has a character value of local history and culture in a village
and city. This heritage building is usually located in city center and into the early development of a city.
In Pekanbaru, there is a group of heritage buildings with some characters. The area named Bandar
Senapelan on the edge of the Siak river which has been developed before the colonization of the
Netherlands.This research was conducted with field observations and interviews with local residents and
then conducted measurements on the building. The data collected are compiled into a table to make it
easier to conduct an inventory of the identification of the structure and construction of the building as well
as the types of responses. Some of the heritage buildings in the area of Bandar Senapelan were influenced
by some ethnic groups such as Minangkabau, Malay and Chinese. Those buildings have distinctive
character although they do not use too many elements of architectural art, but their existence is quite
able to prove past glory in the city of Pekanbaru. In this research, a core zone area was created, then the
buildings’ remains were calculated. After that, the calculations and sincronization were done with a map
of virtue as many as 52 heritage buildings made of wood and stone. The buildings have different tipology,
as a single home (individual), the home of the fisherman, merchant's house, warehouse, shop and home
stores.The output from this research will generate a mapping of the heritage buildings and it is expected
that it can provide useful information for the development of the city stakeholders to determine the
direction of future development of Bandar Senapelan
Keywords: Heritage building, inventory and typology
1.Introduction
Bandar Senapelan is an area in Central of Pekanbaru City that is attached directly to the Siak River. At the region there`
was the Centre of trade and transport links between central Sumatra and the lands on the opposite side of the Mallaca
Straits . The existence of cultural heritage buildings are still found in the area. The Government of the Republic of Indonesia
firmly has mentioned in the law on cultural heritage No. 11 of 2010, that more than 50 years old buildings are objects of
cultural heritage and must be preserved. However, to reach the stage of preservation, it needs to go through the process of
inventory and documentation as well as in the assessment of these buildings. Inventory of historic old buildings aims to give
public awareness especially local authorities about how important it is maintaining and keeping the visual quality of the
city.The new development is one of the factors of economic development and improvement of a city. However, new
development should not sacrifice the cultural heritage values in one place.
The research method is to do a field survey to each heritage building. Data taken in field such as existing photos, history,
ownership, construction structures, architectural details and typology. After collecting all the data through interviews and
the depiction of the measurement, then the process of designation or classification action on the heritage building
preservation was done. For that data were summarized in a table in order to facilitate the understanding of the condition
rather than the object of research.

After doing classificationthe above, then the data carried out the conservation action types. There are three categories of
types of actions, namely:
a. the first category is based on the age of the building. Through the study of the history of the development of the city
it will be retrieved timeline (time series ) which is important in the formation of the city. Time series with this
approach will make it easier to determine the population of buildings based on time. How prevalent is done through
the choice of the population which has certain specifications in determining the group. This can be done when it has
been known years of development.
b. The second category; based on the flavor of local residents regarding the uniqueness of the form or the motives of
the ornament that is owned by heritage building, the influence of different cultures.
c. the third Category; the buildings after the second world war. Usually not much uniqueness of cultural values. In this
population in the buildings that have no importance against this can be removed from the list check (check list)
After doing the above, then the data collection carried out conservation action type of separation process. There are three
categories of types of actions, namely:
a. the first category; is based on the age of the building. Through the study of the history of the development of the
city will be retrieved timeline (time series) are important in the formation of the city. Time series with this approach
will make it easier to determine the population of buildings based on time. How prevalent is done through the choice
of the population which has certain specifications in determining his group. This can be done when it has been
known years of development.
b. The second categoryis based on the flavor of local residents regarding the uniqueness of the form or the motives of
the ornament found in the heritage building which may show the influence of different cultures.
c. the third Category is the buildings after the second world war. It does not show much uniqueness of cultural values.
In this case,the buildings have no importance, thus can be removed from check list.
After the selection was done the buildings on the list should be assessed through specific interests based on historical
values, interesting architectural characteristics, circumstances and structures as well as the influence of the surrounding area
against the building. Assessment of heritage architecture in this area can be done by analyzing the existing building
typology. Building typology is describing a group of objects on the basis of the similarity of character and basic forms.
Grouping multiple objects is performed based on the nature of the similarities in the form type, model and idioms.

Classification of buildinhg typology is done based on understanding the object, function and symbolic perception.
Typology of traditional Malay houses is the home stage with high poles. (Mahyudin Al Mudra, 2003). The Overview of
Malay architecture Building typology in Bandar Senapelan shows that there have been changes or substitution of some
elements of the building. This is caused by the traditional typology of the building because of the influence of Malay
culture and external cultural influences that developed at that time. Malay architecture building in the Bandar Senapelan is
built based on the function of building, the House, warehouse, trade accounts, and places of worship (Titin, Rika, Repi,
2016).
Minangkabau ethnic residential typology is determined by the number of Poles, the floor and the end of the building, while
the other characteristics remain the same (Ibenzani, 1985). Minangkabau architecture also emphasizes the functional aspects
rather than on the symbolic ones. A home is not just a place to live, but also as a place of discussion and traditional
ceremony. Room is spacious enough built to accommodate guests on certain occasions. The bedroom is arranged in a
linear-shaped in order to bring more impression on the house. Minangkabau house has several types and characters that
have been mutually agreed by the experts. The second type is the basis of development of the minangkabau house so it
undergoes transformation from time to time. The house of Chinese there has also undergone many changes and is almost
disappeared in this area. Anyhow, it can be seen in the area surrounding the location of research. The cultural heritage of
ethnic Chinese that is still found is the intangible heritage which is always in use by the Chinese community.
2) The process of determination of cultural heritage buildings
In the case of the research area of Kampung Bandar Senapelan, determination of the building is done by several stages
through the principles below:
1) Making a list of the records against the heritage buildings by doing an inventory buildings that have plurality,
aesthetics, rarity, history, reinforcing the role of the regions, and privileges. Action was taken based on the quality of
the building, maintenance and the contributions on the face of the city. All buildings contain cultural heritage in
kampung Bandar Senapelan marked in the map. Then to the environment, the selection can be made by:
a. Environmental conservation which can be selected based on the grouping of heritage buildings. This means
buildings which are not worth the environmental legacy but included in the heritage building will get special
attention.
b. The environment is considered an important contribution to the quality of the face of the city as a whole (including
oldand new buildings), will be considered as environment conservation. There are times when there are regions
that make up a good angle and give the quality of the image of the city as a whole. the vegetation is one of the
things that makes the space on a particular view that gives good quality. This atmosphere should also be
maintained.

4) Determination of the building, this assignment consists of 4 types such as, tipe A is the building with the maintenance
of preservation through action on the exterior and the interior, The exterior maintenance, tipe B is yet on the inside may
be modified in accordance with the functions of the present, tipe C is the maintenance may change the exterior and
interior, while tipe D is the building that can be destroyed as stalls that stick to the walls of buildings of cultural
heritage or glue that is deliberately attached so it may damage the original building and so
5) Determination of the typology of the building, grouping shapes, characters and styles on a group of buildings. In the
area of research in German calculation, in accordance with current function. As mentioned in the introduction that the
typology of the building of the cultural heritage found in kampung bandar senapelan are several buildings namely; a)
residential Building - housing, b) Shop House/kiosk/stall, 3)mosque, 4) Warehouse,
a. Housing = 48 %
b. Shop house/stall = 22,2 %
c. Warehouse = 18,5 %
d. Mosque = 3,7 %
Figure 2. The determination of the core zone, buffer zone, and the preservation of cultural heritage building types
Comparison of the function of buildings found in the kampung bandar senapelan caused by the activities of the trade.
Different function will affect the appearance of the building as a whole. Likewise with the surrounding environment. Until
now, the port activity is quite high especially for the heavy stuff. Several buildings that served as the House turned into a
goods shed weight. This will bring the impact on the existence of the building and if it is not treated well, it will then fall by
itself. The specialty of the building in this area is the average use of materials from wood to start from the floor to the roof,
for the foundation stones and limes were used. This indicates that most of the Malay population live in this region including
to (have a high economic level). The average of the society work as traders, only a small fraction that become fishermen.
The number of elites left the house being left to others, they are fixed.Most of the buildings remain to this day are more
than a hundred years and the damage does not occur only because of bad maintenance but also because of the location of
the fishermen’s homes which are located along the lip of the river which cause damage and moldiness of building
materials. Quite worrying is when these damaged buildings fall away with age. For this reason, special handling is required
so that the diversity of the old buildings in the area is still preserved. .
4.Conclusion
From the results of the analysis and the discussion above, it is inferred several things. The first, the need to complete the
process of documenting this further to a building that has not yet been identified. Then for keeping this area, the
Government is expected to control and evaluate the rules enforcement of construction or building permit. The necessity to
do the rejuvenation of existing buildings is to provide a clean, comfortable visual experience for all citizens. The research
will be continued to manufacture managed plan for handling the preservation areas which will deepen the process of
determination of the zoning area. It is hoped the input of this article for self development.
